(based on submitted proposals)

I have been using agile since 2003. First as a programmer, then as a Scrum Master/Agile team coach and today as a strategic consultant for large organizations which are looking to improve their business efficiency using agile values, principles and techniques.

Over the years I had the opportunity to lead agile implementations in more than 20 various sizeorganizations, operating in a wide range of industries. I have used and developed many agile tools and techniques. I learned and developed great skills about individuals, team dynamics and change management. I also have the chance to share those learnings within different agile and project management communities around the country.

As Facilité Informatique Agile Excellence Center's director, I lead a fantastic squad of more than 30 agile coaches playing an important role in agile adoption in Eastern Canada.

Experience Report

As Agile continues to scale among organizations of all types (including governement agencies), challenges are now not only at teams or projects level but are more and more encountered at the portfolio management level. To significantly improve end-to-end global delivery model and to inject effective responsiveness into strategic and operational programs, organizations need to reinvent governance by shifting organizational KPIs from variance surveillance to real business value creation. Horizontal business processes (such as planning, reporting and budgeting) must be cohesive with this shift as their influence and impacts go far beyond scrum/kanban floor-team execution mechanisms. How should we organize and manage such a transformation? Where should we start? How should we deal with existing processes and management paradigms that are far from being Agile?

This conference will provide numerous references and pointers from a successful large scale Agile government transformation. The two speakers are senior agile coaches passionated for real change and for long lasting improvement. All together Jean-René and Richard combine more than 20 years of Agile experience and have helped many organizations improve their performance with agile principles and practices.

It is intended for executives, managers and everyone leading and applying changes in the organization.

Talk

Intermediate

The word "Agile" is all over the place now. Discussions are not only about if you are doing it, but mostly about how you are doing it. And in those conversations I often feel people are trying to prove hey are doing better than others. But when we compare our agility, what do we really whant to know? How can I say that my agility is bigger than yours?

Over the last 13 years doing agile software development and specially during the last 8 years as an agile coach I had the chance to explore this question on how to measure the teams and organisational agility through diverse tools and techniques with multiple customers and teammates. During this conference I would like to share with you those experiences and reflect on how to measure your agility. Maybe you should not only look on how you are doing agile development, but more on what is the impact of it!
